Inspired (April 11th)

[t.m0]

Hey,

since I just came back from the Berlin workshop, I thought it was about time to post some sketches and give proof of how much it inspired me. Especially Andrew's getting-pissed-and-managing-to-be-creative-the-next-morning-anyway-approach has really opened my eyes!! Thanks for that man.

So here are a couple of the sketches I did yesterday evening and today:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page1all.jpg


Don't believe that I can keep that daily rate tho ;)

hope you like it :bashful:

cheers.t

[cartoonfox]

hey man, did you have a fun drive back? ^-^


i didnt get to see alot of your stuff in berlin, so its nice to see some of your stuff here.

awesome man, looks really nice. i like the blue pencil, your lines are very smooth.
no crits, i love it all ^-^

keep it up



peace :7up:

[Burning Eyes]

Wow, yes, your lines are smooth, and you dont waste many of them! Now your inspiring me! Keep postin!!!

[Keepiru]

wow, amazing stuff, your characters are very nice, it would be cool to see a couple of them more fully developed. Great sketches, post more asap! <3

[t.m0]

Thanks guys, your words are very much appreciated and motivating!! Glad you like it.

Hopefully I can update some more pics tonight!

@keepiru:
I'll definitely finish one or two of them... tho still don't know which ones;)

@BE:
Glad I can pass something from my workshop inspiration on :D

@cartoonfox:
Yeah had fun driving... or should I say fun trying to stay awake with 3 guys around me having their sweetest dreams and sleeping almost through the whole drive. Took me 6 hours to finally get home :dead: But it was definitely worth staying a little longer than intended the last evening ;) cool too see so much of your stuff here in the forum.. though I recognized most of it from your »real life« sketchbook :dur: waiting for more.

cheers.t

p.s. just got that blue pencil and I do love it... it's so much fun drawing with.

[corky13]

Do you play Doom3 ? because the first thing i thought about the first Image was "Wow Space-Marine is attacking-Watch out Satan !" :D

i like your stuff man.
keep it updated ;)

[t.m0]

@corky
;) funny that you mention doom... yes I do play it, but the only pic that I drew right after playing it, was the fat zombie dude :D

K.. this doesn't fit into the timeline, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Some of the products of the Berlin workshop (I mean »direct« products of it.. since everything from now on will be sort of a product of it :D):

Our italian model:

Some girl in a restaurant (without her noticing until the moment I gave her the second drawing I did of her):

Our 1 hour - Adversary assignment:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page7.jpg

[corky13]

Oh..now i see you are from Germany :)

Also sag ichs gleich auf deutsch dann spar ich mir die blamage mehr von meinem schlechten Englisch in die Welt zu setzen :D

Also ich denke das Italienische Model hat nen zu kurzen und dünnen unterarm (bzw auch oberarm aber über den kann man doch streiten denk ich)

Hehehe the last one is cool ^^

im looking forward to more art of you ;)

[t.m0]

@corky
you're totally right about the arm... thx.

Here are some more blue pencil drawings from today:

Hmmm, I've noticed that alot of people like blue pencils, i should try it out. :)

Cheers

[t.m0]

[behemot5]

i like specially the way you draw "cartoon" characters.....they are funny

[Molly]

Hey T.M0 - nice work, really, I like alot...:)

The page fulla faces - favourite piece. Really nice to see. You got some good ideas and designs for characters, I look forward to seeing some more...
Also, self portraits - kinda look like you. I remember you being a lot cuter tho...:)

Keep it up!

Mollyx

[t.m0]

random pose:

another badly failed try at a self portrait. It was kinda hard tho' since I did in the train (feeling kinda stupid, keeping grinning at the world outside), working with my reflection in the window:

good resemblance in the refs, nice ink faces, well done keep at it man. Love the dark pencil drawings

[rodrigo!]

i really like your style man, really loose pencils some good energy. keep it up!

[t.m0]

@Jens
Thanks man. I'm still looking for the right drawing tools, but I think the dark pencil is pretty nice to work with, glad you like it ;)

@rodrigo
Thank you, much appreciated! I'm still trying to find "my style", since it has changed a lot during the last couple of months.

So here's another one, I drew yesterday and rendered today during class.
2 more pages to go in my sketchbook ;)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page59.jpg
cheers.t

[t.m0]

hey everyone :)

omg, this day sucked greatly... only positive thing: even that got me inspired somehow :devil:

cheers.t

[t.m0]

Mood didn't change all that much ;)

cheers.t

[Pichuerca]

Your portraits are really good! I really like Nicolas Cage portrait. Your technology stuff is really great too.

Keep it.

Pich

[t.m0]

Hey

@pich
thank you :) I'm glad you like it though I still have to work a lot on my protraiting and tech skills... there's still ways to go :S

Here's a drawing I finished today at school, a project called "dance of the dead". It's A2 size (which equals 42 x 59.4 cm - 16.5 x 23.4 inch):

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page63.jpg

[Darkside]

wuu, nice sketchbook. I really like your anatomy and sense for movement, you have a very dynamic stroke. Are you called Timo? that would make you very likable ;)

[t.m0]

Hey

thanks darkside for dropping by, yep, the name's Timo ;) Thanks for the compliment, but I really need to work a LOT on anatomy... which I'm about to do these 2 semesters :D Really looking forward to it ;)

here's another badly failed attempt at an SP, from the trains' window reflection:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page64.jpg

and some quick portraits:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page65.jpg

cheers.t

[Darkside]

what do you study? my name is Timo too, think you guessed it :)
nice sp, I have to do these myself, ahh, need more hours per day ;)

[Sanby]

Sweet... My fav is everything, but I really really like those skeleton sketches. They rock.

Sanby

[t.m0]

@darkside
yep I guessed ;) I'm studying communications design at the FH in Augsburg. Argh.. the likeness in those SPs is way from where I wanna be... have to practice more, too :dead:

@sanby
thanks dude for your kind words ;)

here's another SP before going to bed. Likeness sucks.. done from memory without any reference whatsoever - about 25 minutes:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page66.jpg

good night.t

[Darkside]

looking good. a bit muddy perhaps, try to use more saturated and different colors. A little red in the nose is always good :) What I´m doing to learn about color (skintone especially :) ) is grab a goodlooking pic, photo or painting, open it to my 2dapp and examine with the eyedropper what colors are in there. Helps a lot.
Here are some links that might be interesting for you:

[PHATandy]

Nice work t.m0, im really liking ure pencil charcter concept stuff, its all really slick and clean, very affective. Your portraits are coming along nicely aswell (the marker ones are very good, think i mite have to have a go at doin that :)). Especially love the one with all the bones and skulls.

Keep up the good work and post more.

[t.m0]

@phatandy
thank you :) You should definitely try the markers, they rock. If they weren't that expensive (and bound to the right paper) I'd use them way more often.

@darkside
Thanks for the tips about color. I should know a lot of this stuff since we did that last semester... well I believe the only real way to get better ist mostly by practising... so that's what I'll do (besides looking through your links ;)).
Yeah, I know about the muddyness, but since it was kind of a speedpaint and I became very tired last night, I didn't want to go over it again :) Glad you pointed it out tho.. I'll try harder next time.

Here's a robot concept I did today:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page67.jpg

cheers.t

[t.m0]

Hey there :)

after having finished my last sketchbook I had decided on using an A4 sketchbook... which turned out to be very unhandy when it comes to drawing in a train, cafe, etc. so I went once more for the smaller size A5.

Now I'm using 2 sketchbooks, one for portraits and one for other sketches and concepts.

"Portraits"-cover (without reference):

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page68.jpg

and first portrait (of one of my roommates):

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page69.jpg

"Sketches"-cover:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page70.jpg

and second sketch (first one is the robot concept one post up):

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page71.jpg

now for some happy drawing ;)

cheers.t

edit: nice coincidence, 2nd page - next sketchbook ;)

[t.m0]

only a small update today... I'm just too busy right now :\

crappy faces:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page72.jpg

hope to find more time soon...
cheers.t

[Jokisalo]

my favorit is definetely the sketchbook cover!!
face studys looks nice too.. keep posting man..
and if you got time drop by in my sketchbook.
thanks

[t.m0]

Thanks Jokisalo :) The cover was supposed to be motivating to draw everyday... and it is :D

Again I should be doing something different entirely... but I can't put my pencil down ;) So here's another one for my peeps book - again the same one of my roomies:

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page73.jpg

There might have been a slight inspiration concerning the left page... without actually meaning to ;) It started as a random doodle and that's what I saw in it... so beware of androids mighty influence :android: :teeth:

[jetpack42]

cool stuff man. when you are using ink, sometimes your lines detract from what you are trying to show. for example, the portrait one post up. I squint, and it all looks really good and clear, but with so many lines all over the place like that, its really playing tricks on my eyes when im looking at it normally. Of course, this could be your stylistic intention, so maybe disregard, but my 2 cents. I'll keep watching your thread though, good stuff.

[t.m0]

Heya

@jetpack: Thanks :D I know what you mean about the lines... at the beginning I had pretty clean (not distracting) lines, but I kept adding and adding to put some depth into the drawing. I had to add a LOT since the pen is so thin (0.4mm) ;) It doesn't look so confusing in the original tho since my scanner messed up the contrasts..

here are a couple more:
selfportrait:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page84.jpg

another portrait:

quick sketch (about 15-20mins):

cheers.t

[Egets]

very cool sketch book !!!!!!

[Darkside]

really like your shading.
the nose of the woman in your last post seems a little bit out of perspective.

[steak-tron]

Nice sketches, I loves me some hatching.
Keep pushing those faces, some of those portraits look really sharp an' nice work on that "dance of the dead" pic.

[t.m0]

Hey :)

@darkside
Thanks. I know man... it really does look so... even more so with the shading messed up by my scanner. It's not as bad in the original tho :rolleyes:

@steak-tron
Thank you ;) That's why I started this solely protraits sketchbook, to practice those faces :) Really love portraiting people..

here's another weird doodle page:

[Darkside]

[t.m0]

Hey :)

@jokisalo:
Thanks :) Glad you like it - to be honest I'm only half finnish ;)

@OleOlsen:
Thanks man, I'm flattered :bashful:

@Darkside:
Thanks. I'll have to finish the "dance of the dead II" thingy till next wednesday for uni, so there'll soon be an update regarding that ;) So far I've only made one study/sketch.

thanks for stopping by peeps :D:D

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page93.jpg

Nice stuff. That bee thing is sweet. The bottom left hand, the 3 fingers look a bit stubby to me. Besides that, this stuff is great. BTW, dance of the dead, no referance, I bow down to you.

Sanby

[t.m0]

Hey everyone :)

Oh my... finally I got to scan some stuff... I'm so busy right now, so please forgive my not posting - those who care ;)

a concept, that started as another fun-battle with Soja - we weren't quite clear about the topic, so we didn't finish the battle - finished the drawing tho ;) Re-Design of a Warhammer(Dawn of War) Space Marine:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page99.jpg

and finally my first draft of "Dance of the Dead II" - my prof didn't like it tho, so I have to redo most of it :( (sorry for the really bad photograph):
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page100.jpg

C&C as always very welcome :)
thanks for looking

[Darkside]

hi Timo (schizophrenic? :nohope: ), nice sketches, but that marker redesign...
wuuuhoo, I like it. You should do more of these things.
keep up :)

[t.m0]

@darkside
Thanks ;) If it wasn't so time and money consuming I'd love to do way more of those copic drawings... I really like working with markers.

here's a somewhat larger dump from the last couple of days (just not enough time for scanning):

hey t, cool stuff.
I would suggest to use fewer lines in your sp, like you made in the portrait of your friend. If you squint, it looks really great, I mean it ;) , but in that way it is a bit confusing.
keep up

[t.m0]

@darkside
thanks bro :) I know, sometimes I get carried away with those lines :D Working on it and trying out different styles..

[klinesmoker]

I scrolled through all that and I HAVE to leave a message.
You have such an incredible touch that it passes the line of "inspirational." Keep posting! <3 <3

[t.m0]

@klinesmoker
thanks man, your words really flatter me! Glad you like my stuff :bashful:

hope I'm not boring you with this, but right now I'm really into protraiting... so

here's another portrait of a friend (sorry, a lot of shading lost due to my bad scanner)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page119.jpg

and yet another SP (with markers)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page120.jpg

cheers.t

[Darkside]

rrrrr, looks strong ;) but your left cheek is a hole, hope not in reality :perv:
the portraits are coming along nicely.
btw, I´m really impressed by your _just_few_lines_ skeletton drawings, will try this when I have them really fixed in my mind :skull: looks very loose and confident.
keep up

[Botch]

great work... nice economy, weight.. keep it up!

[t.m0]

@darkside
thanks :) I know.. kinda mean looking me, huh ;) But that was exactly as I was feeling yesterday night, since I had a whole f*** load of work to do and was so tired... so I decided on not doing the work, drawing an sp and falling asleep exhausted. Worked out quite well ;) That hole... yeah.. strange light situation there.. tho that's the way I saw it (with my tired eyes). You just reminded me, that I still have to finish that dance of the dead II thing... damn more work :\

@botch
thank you for stopping by and your kind words :bashful:

here's one I did during class today
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page121.jpg

cheers.t

[Darkside]

phiiu, that is really awsome, though his left armpit looks kinda strange.

I still have to finish that dance of the dead II thing... damn more work

wtf, that´s not work that´s fun :nohope:

;)

more of these creatures

[t.m0]

@darkside
yeah I know about the armpit ;) Kinda off...
You're right, it shouldn't be work... but with all the stuff I have to do right know, drawings that HAVE to be finished are considered work and not fun ;)

So here's some new stuff
from life, 3-5 min poses
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page122.jpg

from life, 15-20 min pose
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page123.jpg

from memory
(pretty neat approach my prof came up with: Our model posed for 3 minutes and we watched while doing the same pose. Then we had to draw what we remembered focusing on what we felt during that pose, i.e. pain in the shoulder area)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page124.jpg

and an early WIP. Reason I'm posting this is that I might never finish it, since I've already spent too much time on it. It's not all that exciting since it's from photo ref, my way of facing my skintone (and lighting) problems. The image is cropped and the whole figure (including legs) is currently printable at 2 meters height with 150dpi... takes its time loading and saving :D Only the face is considered almost-finished ;)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page125.jpg

close-up:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page126.jpg

hope you like it
cheers.t

[Vulturius]

hey t.m0, nice painting of the girls face. :)

Don't know for sure but you could try to make the head a little bit bigger, the body looks a bit massive for a girl. And 150 dpi for a 2m poster? Wow. Perhaps you could paint at 75 dpi and scale it up when finished...

[t.m0]

@Vulti
Thanks:) Nice to see you here in my thread. I know the body (as well as the hand) look a little bulky, but that's due to the fact, that I didn't stick to the pencil outlines when applying my basic colors. Once the body is finished, it'll appear smaller, so hopefully the proportions will work out then ;) I did try it with the right fist and it worked. Thanks for pointing it out tho.

just a tiny update.. haven't found the time to continue with the girl.
another marker portrait... likeness sucks badly - with ref
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page127.jpg

[chyo]

Hi. u do many nice drawings and studies. I like the kid statue (page130.jpg), I think u should make his neck more visible :)

[Daunting]

very very good. I like the clean lines that you make. Looks professional in your finished peices.

One thing I'd like to bring to your attention is your crosshatching. Your crosshatchings a little unorganized at times at it doesn't complement the contours of the faces or whatever you draw at times. Work on trying to really bring out the contours of the object and your work will excel.

[Friso]

Good stuff in here.
The double page full of faces is awesome.

[t.m0]

Hey there :)

shame on me for drawing so damn little lately :$

@chyco:
Thank you. I know, the neck does look a bit short.. it was an ugly kid tho ;)

@psyloco:
Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words.

@daunting:
Thanks for your cc. You're right about the crosshatching... been kinda lazy with it, but I'll promise to change that ;) Haven't done so in my next portrait(since it was drawn before I've read your post), but I've tried to in my self portrait today... hope I succeeded (at least a bit)

[acorn]

wow

all the faces!!! argh! real!!! =)

i like scratchy ink sketches, yay!
awesome job

[van]

Great thread! I cant tell if I like your clean work better than your loose sketches. :) Keep rocking.

[t.m0]

@acorn & van
Thank you :) your words are really motivating!

sorry for boring you all with all the portraits of late.. but here are another two:

once again my roommate:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page135.jpg

and another self portrait:
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page136.jpg

cheers.t

[t.m0]

... and a tiny update of my WIP
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page137.jpg

[t.m0]

more WIP...
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page138.jpg

[IanE]

These are some of the best portraits I've ever seen. You're able to draw cartoons, realism, and fantasy all extremely well. Your celebrity portraits look just like the actors/actresses. Great work. Keep it going!

[t.m0]

@IanE
Thank you man, I'm really glad you think so :) With my portraits I'm still far from where I wanne be tho..

here's another SP from today. It really sucked, so I "messed" it up a bit ;) The light parts, splattered with red, are cut out of the paper and the next page is shining through, except for the initial sketch (which sucked), no reference used.
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page139.jpg
next page (SP), sucks badly though... no likeness whatsoever
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page140.jpg

cheers.t

[SirRon]

I refuse to think that your portraits suck! Keep it up.

And I really hope you finish your WIP. But I think the torso looks rather large. I cover the chest with my hand and the back looks fine and vice versa. But both of them together I think it's too big. IMO anyways.

Keep up the good work :D

[t.m0]

I refuse to think that your portraits suck!

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people saying how bad the own drawings are and thus fishing for compliments (utterly hate those!!). What I meant was, that my last SP sucks really badly when it comes to proportions (of my face) and likeness. Just wanted to make that clear :dur:
Thanks for your kind words though. I see what you mean about the body of my WIP (damn it)... maybe kind of late tho to change that... I'll see what I can do ;)

so here's some more from today,
random doodeling during classes
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page141.jpg
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page142.jpg
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page143.jpg

Selfportrait... was supposed to be a quickie... ended up spending about 15-20 minutes on it though
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page145.jpg

c&c as always welcome :D

cheers.t

[Jokisalo]

that digi laidy is really hot.. well done :x
also nice portraits.
keep posting ;)

[OleOlsen]

hey dude your stuff is looking nice though too.....
thanks for coming aroound at my thread...from the last potraits i like most the one guy with the hat...and your sp's look good too...so keep it up. i will have a closer look on this thread now. ;)
by< the way where do you study? i'm studying design too. in ravensburg at the nice Bodensee! ( dude that sounds strange :perv: )

[t.m0]

@joki
thanks man ;) Glad you like her... if she were real I'd hook you guys up someday :D

@OleOlsen
thanks for stopping by as well :) I'm currently studying in Augsburg.. unfortunately drawing is pretty small here at my uni, kinda sucks, but hey so I gotta draw more in my spare time ;)

here's one new thing... and it's NOT a portrait :confident
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page146.jpg

cheers.t

[t.m0]

Hey there :)

here goes today's stuff:
random doodles during class... I know, way too many confusing lines :/
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page147.jpg

then my first 5 min SP... it really sucks, I "panicked" because of the small timespan and began scribbling like mad without any order... don't like it, so just a linked thumb
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page148_small.jpg
(http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page148.jpg)

then I laid back a minute, thought about the whole rushing thing and began another 5 min quickie
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page149.jpg

and finally a quick bunch of.. selfportraits ;)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page150.jpg

Heya,

Size A2, pencils
Topic: Illustration of some nasty lil boys pranks. Mine:
"Run-And-Hide-Event" - Hold a lighted candle under the doorknob for 2 or 3 Minutes before your father leaves for work.
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page152.jpg

Size A2, acrylics
Topic: "Santa Claus' fear of the easter bunny; the easter bunny's fear of female cab drivers with huge bras" AND "The Chaos inside the cab, after the easter bunny, with smashed paws, had hit the cab driver with Santa's helper, dressed as Santa Claus." - no comment ;)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page153.jpg

[hurricane]

stuff is getting tighter and tighter man, keep on working on your art, the sky is not the limit :P


draw draw draw draw draw ! :)

cheers man !

[t.m0]

@hurricane
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! ;)

Finally I'm done with my "dance of the dead II", done with black pencil, size A2. No ref used, except for general setup (like kind of clothes etc). I'm not really satisfied, but well, I had to finish it pretty quickly in the end. Hope you like it anyways

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page155.jpg

slightly larger version here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37164)..

cheers.t

[Oshiroii]

Those moves look quite familiar, do I spot Mia and Vince over there, pulp fiction hmmm?

It looks pretty good, nice rendering. You could darken/contrast Mia's left side a bit, especially the shadow on the pants, under the shirt, the rest looks all fine ;)

[t.m0]

@oshiroii
thanks on commenting on my pulp fiction pic ;) Yes it's them... only had 1 1/2 days for it, and now it's with my prof for rating purposes, so unfortunately no more changing.. but I see what you mean and you're right.

holy mo... have I not been around for a while

Was kinda busy with uni and now that I'm on semester break.. kinda busy with relaxing :D But anyways... to get back in shape (drawing wise) here my warmup doodles from the last couple of days:

[Xaya]

Nice update, nice progress!

The Pulp Fiction translation looks great
(it must be a horrible job to fill a A2 paper with nothing but pencils - i have already problems with A3)

Well it is good to see you have a balance between ref. stuff / studies
and imagination stuff.
I lack study these days and got my asskicks heavily!
Keep on it!

Perhaps you can do a transaction between two characters.... quite a nice practice for storytelling!

Good good! Head studys! Really loving the head studys of the 4 man on the right side! In that painting maybe add more skin tone variation?

Hey :)

thanks for dropping by seth and for your kind words. In which painting were you looking for more skin tone variations? The last portrait was supposed to be of a guy who's pretty fucked up.. so not much skin tone there ;)

Coolness all around, life inks are a bit rough on the edges,
try not to make so many strokes, strive to capture the personality
and volumen with out taking the pen out of the page,
inks are hard as hell so keep praticing man, and keep the inspiration UP!! :D

[t.m0]

hey

@maxetormer
thanks for stopping by my thread man. I'm not sure which ones you meant by life inks... most of the life drawings (i.e. post #156) are ball-pen drawings.

All of this is just Amazing. Hopefully I'll make it to that level. I just love how loose, but solid your style is!

Hey again,

@dr_inferno
thank you :) really glad you think so.. just keep practicing, there's no one to stop you in your progress but yourself!

still into that value/color practicing with my new intuosIII, painter with ref
don't know about the time tho... redid the colors about a hundred times... dude painting skin just drives me crazy! Meaning.. I need way more practice..

and another one... WIP.. with ref... about 1h15mins into it
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page247.jpg

[t.m0]

@mortem
thanks for replying, usually I don't do a lot with reference (I always state when something's done with ref). Lately I've had fun painting those celebrity portraits from photo ref to get a sharper look wenn it comes to portraits. I also need to practice more skin-coloring since it's really one of the hardest thing to do.

so here's the finished piece (about 2hours), wacom, painter IX, ref
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page248.jpg

Heey!
Like your faces, doing a lot from refs I see?
Your last face (the wip) is really good!

very nice stuff. great range of values for the most part. those digital girls are looking hott! great studies. but on the comicbook some areas are looking flat, especially on the mouth region. well thats my crit for now.

[Haxxxor]

Ohohohohohoh what a great sketchbook!

Angelina Joilie (?) is good but looks a little bit like an alien. Maybe she is one because i drawn her and there she looks like an alien too.

Mach weiter so, das sieht nach dem richtigen weg aus!

[t.m0]

Thanks Haxx, glad you like my sketchbook. Yep, it's Angelina and she does look strange.. ;)

here's something I'm currently working on for uni.. grimace-selfportraits.. tried to get them down with ink.. in a comic style sort of way... anyways, sorry for the bad photograph

wow, these grimace-faces are too cool.
and your life drawings are great. keep posting.

[t.m0]

@vigostar & monotony
thanks guys :) they were really fun to draw..
I'm going to do more life studies.. since I'm visiting those drawings session more regularly this semester.. I hope :D

here's just some of the portraits I've done so far put together in a big collection (for my university projects)
unfortunately I don't like some of those at all... but I had to fill that page ;)

WOW your portrait work is awesome!! Keep posting!

[t.m0]

@thePenciler
thanks for stopping by my thread :) glad you like the portraits, I'm still not too fond of most of them... there are so many proportion issues that are bothering me, but I'll try working on that

finally page 4... the large download started to become tiresome ;)

here's something that I might or might not ink and/or color...
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page278.jpg

[PHATandy]

ahha, thats awesome, i real like it tm0
The inking style is real well done, but my only crit would be the pose is looking o so stiff - its like hes balancing on his leg, not sort of, running through or leaning over it etc. more notification of the ground moving like dirt puffs, and the leaning of him might make it work a little better.

Keep posting :)
Andy.

[t.m0]

Thanks Andy :) You were right about the stiffness... I didn't realize it until you mentioned it.
Here's the inked version.. I tried to place the supporting foot a litte off balance.. hope that's better..
I'll probably color it.. since I've gone through the pain of inking it ;)
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page279.jpg

[this1]

ummm... ur amazing. i was gonna post what my favorite sketches where, but that would make for a lot of typing and just as much reading, so im doin us all a favor and just sayin u kick ass, ur stuff is awesome. killer inks btw.

hey there... more life drawings

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page290.jpg

There might be some flaws in this pose since our model kept falling asleep after about 15seconds into the pose (no kidding). That was one of the moments were you're concentrating really hard not to catch the eye of anyone else in the room or else you know you'll crack up... well unfortunately I did :D
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page291.jpg

[twistedink13]

Great looking work

[t.m0]

@twistedink
thanks, glad you think so :D

here's a little update on my necromancer WIP.. it's gonna take ages since I'm way too busy with other work :(
http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page292.jpg

[this1]

necromancer looks wicked... awesome, not bad on the random pose studies, i like em... sorry to hear your model fell asleep... woulda been funny if hed fallen of his stool... HAHAHAHA...

[t.m0]

Hey this1, nice to see you back in here ;) That sure would've been fun.. he almost did. Well of course he fell asleep afterwards during the lying pose.. which was supposed to be a 5min pose only.. well he snored away while we went to get our coffee and had a break :D

anyways.. I finally got around to inking the first page for my comic project at university..

Very cool stuff. I really like the lines and inks. Machen mich ehrgeizig.
The Dance of death from school is VERY cool. Good on ya. I´ll devinetly be back and watchin´for more of yer stuff. Espcially ´cause I want to know how this comic goes on. Das Miststück. German trailer park, huh?

The necromancer is GOOOD. Question though: Everything about him looks very naturally and smooth and handmade stichted together like. But the mask screams "technology". Any special reason or concept behind that?

c. ya

[Demiurgic]

Wow, simply awesome, all of it. I really liked the way you did your figures in random poses. Really inspiring work.

[t.m0]

@bbwolf
thank you man, relly glad you like my stuff. The first 4 pages need to be finished by July 18th.. the last 4 a little later :) still a lot of work. The setting is somewhat undefined.. some gun wielding, deserty place.. Texas maybe :patriot:
Hmm, nah the mask is also supposed to be some handcrafted leather thingy nailed to his face.. I see that it's hard to get from the dark coloring.. maybe I'll go over that when I've thought about a fitting background ;)

@demiurgic
I'm flattered, thanks a lot m8

so this is my go at a female face without any photo/life reference

[MrBobMarley]

I like the facial expressions on most of these. The no/ref female face has some postioning issues that are and easy fix. Would also like to see you push the values. Do you make a habit of flipping your images? Your portrait work on page 3 is great btw.

[t.m0]

Hey MrBob
thanks for stopping by. What do you mean with positioning issues? You're right about the values... was kinda scared pushing them too much, though I know I should have. And I know I should flip them from time to time.. but most of the time I forget ;)

Thanks a lot! You know I really appreciate that

sorry for answering so late.. but I don't like posting in my own thread if I don't have anything new to show..

Since I'm only working on projects that I'm either not allowed to show, or wouldn't interest anyone in here (type-design) or will still take some time to be finished.. here's a little something I finished today.. two panels of the comic I'm doing for university
hope you like them

cheers.t

[this1]

damn, havent been here in a while... well, everything looks as i left it, you kickin all forms of ass via art... nicely done. loving the soldier painting on moleskin, and of course the napoleanesk painting, but my fav is the 9 min from ref. of the dark staircase

[t.m0]

Hey this1, thanks for your support. The props for that ref painting need to go to the guy who took that great photograph (michael höfner - http://www.zwo5.de/) :D

So here are the inks for page 2 of my comic project

Here are the finished pages 2+3+4
I'll post an english version of those pages as soon, as I've had some decent sleep.. I'm sober after soon having celebrated the end of my semester marked by those comic pages and I've fixed my computer, which has crashed during this project :(
I hate working on notebooks...

Oh my... it's been such a long time since I've last posted... shame on me. Been spending a lot of time with a 3D animation project for university, which has been pretty time consuming so far. Once it's finished I'm gonna post the animation here if anyone is interested.

I've also been working on the last pages of that comic (translation once it's completed - promise).
So far.. the next 2 pages... pencils, some details still missing. Done solely in Painter IX

[ArtZealot]

Cool stuff. I like that comic you posted, it looks really nice. keep at it.

@xaya
Thanks for stopping by, good to see you again. Our professor decided to publish the comic we were working on, so unfortunately I'm not supposed to show the last pages. Everyone interested in the comic project can take a look at www.strichnin-comic.de (german only - sry for that)

I've been doing a lot of commitioned work.. most of which I'm not allowed to show. Here's something that's already gone online, so I assume it's ok to post here ;)

Right now I'm spending most of my time on my diploma thesis which is due in February. It's going to be (who would have thought that) a comic, set in the near future where mankind has succeeded in manipulating the environment. I've already got most of the story finished, some parts of the storyboard, the main characters, etc.
Not sure yet, how many pages it will have... probably too many for me to finish till Feb ;) I'll try to keep posting.

Waah mahn your stuff is nice. Sketches are very fluent and loose too.
That last one is my favourite, Godsend.

Balls, I clicked 4 instead of 5. Nevermind, your work is a 5 in my heart.

[ArtZealot]

Hey dude, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. I really like your character sketches. I want to get better at mine someday, but dont have time for figure drawing right now. Anyway, u have some good stuff, keep it up with the figure, ur stuff is great. I especially like this one: http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page309.jpg

[t.m0]

@taiylz
Thanks, really glad you think so. Not sure how what I'll be doing with the last one.. maybe it'll become the backcover of my comic.. we'll see ;)

@ArtZealot
Thanks for stopping by. That image was really just a quick doodle to get going, but thanks :)

Since I have two female characters in my comic, I did some quick sketches from ref

http://www.bydecker.de/images/daily/page339.jpg

[Magic Man]

Hey! that sketches are really nice, the lines are generally very nice and clean, the anatomy for the most part is very good.

I'd give you the same advice that I've given someone else today - although sometimes I don't do it myself hehe, is to step back occassionally or zoom out and make sure the image as a whole is correct, this will automatically solve strange skewed looking anatomy if you're having such problems.

Also, sometimes your figures look a little strange because anatomy that lies upon the same horizontal lines don't converge to the same vanishing point, case in point, the last sketch, the girl on the bottom right, her breast line and shoulder line do not align up, and the shoulder on the farthest side is further away from her farthest breast than the closes shoulder is to the closest breat.

Now, thats not to say this is an impossible pose, but it nevertheless seems awkward for someone to pull.

You're the illustrator, the reference material is just that, reference it, don't xerox it.

Have fun, m.

[t.m0]

@Magicman
Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook, really appreciate your critizism. I didn't realise the depth problem you mentioned.. thanks for pointing that out. I'll certainly keep that in mind from now on!

haha, I remember you and your stuff...you were a great inspiration back when I started, I´m glad you are still at it and improve a lot.
I like your comic from the prior page, any updates on it?

keep on :D

[t.m0]

@Darkside
Glad to hear that.. you've really improved a lot, keep up the good work! The first comic I did, got published in our university-project-comic book (www.strichnin-comic.de - german only)... since we've been trying to sell them I'm not supposed to publish all of the pages.
My new comic is coming along ok... could be better though ;) I'll soon post some new stuff from that.
